Strayed or Stolen. a n

Has any one seen pair of eyes
As blue as the sea meath Grecian skies,
And sweet red mouth and teeth like pearl?
Well. they belong to my little girl.
She Strayed away with pretty pout,
And don't know what it all about
would give my lie, were my life all bliss,
To feel again on my cheek her kiss.
She strayed away on a summer morn,
When only the ghost of storm was born;
And IT was born in her eyes of blue.
don't know what in the world to do
Without her smile and her soft caress,
And her presence my days and life bless,
She was so fair, delicious. and sweet,
That my heart never knew twas beneath her
feet.
0, she was so sweet-and she was so fair,
With her lovely eyes and soft, warm hairl
And her dear little hands that fiuttered so,
And in which the dimples would come and
go.
When she opened them wide or shut them
tight,
When love or storms made her pink or white.
There is only this: must pray to Him
To send her back in the twilight dim.

THE minority report Of the Democratic
numbers of the Senate Committee on
Judiciary upon the "Hoar bill to provide
for inquests upon National authority" is
a most complete, sweeping an scathing
review of the mischievous provisions OF
the BILL There is no reference to any
but mischievous provisions, for the bill
had no other. The bill is most apt and
pertinent illustration of the Republican
doctrine of Capitalization, aggravated by
the local idiosyncracies of the author who
boasts the blood of a Puritan ancestry,
and displays that intolerant inquisitive-
ness in the affairs of others of which his
tory affords such a conspicuous example
in the "Blue laws of Connecticut.

THE upland hay of the great Northwest
has magnificent future before it. 1t
has lately developed the flattering fact
that il is possessed of fattening qualities
far superior TO the corn of the East. In the
Denver market, fast assuming a COM
manding position, beeves fattened on
Western hay and Western hay alone, are
at premium. These beeves dress from
two to three pounds more to the hundred
weight gross, than beeves fattened on
corn and produce meat command
ing more money from the block
and meeting with reader sale. Pur-
chasing agents are even now securing
Wyoming for beef fattened solely on
Western hay. The hay OF Utah is as
good as that of Wyoming, perhaps su-
perior, as it has larger proportion of
true upland growth, the growth so mag
nificently replete with the natural fatten-
ing qualities which is fast creating this
imperative demand for Western hay-fed
beef. Let our stock and ranchmen take
early and earnest advantage of the
source of wealth thus thrusting
itself upon them. No better grazing
promise exists than on the uplands of
the Utah ranges. Let this promise be
realized, and utilized to the utmost
Denver is easy OF access, and the market
for the beeves Utah can throw upon it is
certain and rich. One of our Territorial
exchanges remarks that Utah has
Jagged behind her neighbors in enterprise
and development. Let this reproach be
wiped out Nowhere does there exist
grander natural materials for a great
commonwealth and glorious future than
those daily shone upon by Utah's bright
sun. Energy, enterprise and pride OF
name and place are the potent factors
which must make Utah great, and Utah's
people must hearken when Utah calls.

to excite popular sympathy for the con-
demned, and the people felt that the
letter of the law was not the act OF JUS
tice. And yet Mrs. Druse deliberately
killed her husband. The deed was pre-
meditated, and she went straight to Its
execution. A pardon or even condone-
ment of the ofense was impossible. On
the other hand the slain husband was
brute in human form. He was In
humanity cruel to his wife and chill
dren, and deserved the death he
at last goaded the wife to IN
fict. The bullet which slew the
cruel and brutal husband consigned the
wife who had turned at bay to the scat
fold. Druse was murdered, Mrs. Druse
was a murderess, and to some minds
capital punishment sprawls yet ugller
blotch upon the boasted escutchtion OF our
civilization.

THE polygamy bill as it now stands is
the entering wedge which will force asun-
der eventually the trunk of the tree OF
Mormon growth. And this eventually
does not mean some time in the far dis
tant future, but the ultimate result must
soon follow the entrance of the wedge.
Should the Mormons, for the sake OF
political power, stultify themselves
by taking the test oath, that
stuli6cation will only bear one
crop of baleful fruit, for the
next Congress will take the necessary
steps and the more stringent legislation
called for will be enacted. The Nor
mons by perjuring themselves will only
ripen the time. The harvest will be but
the more ready for the national reaper,
and in the fullness OF maturity will be
applied the thrice sharpened sickle, and
there will be no one to say "Hold thy
hand" Public sentiment is over
whelmingly opposed to polygamy.
The people of the United States
have signifed in unmistakable tones
that there shall be no plurality of wives
within the limits of nation consecrated
to all that is noblest and best in progress
and civilization. The popular fat has
gone forth. On the brazen and vicious
brow OF polygamy is already written that
all may read, its doom. But the sense OF
the Nation recognizes that there is no in
slant Transformation scene on the stage.
While the work is good, it is not to be
accomplished by the wand of good
fairy, or the lamp of benifcent magi-
clan. Time works wonders, and with
the Edmunds-Tucker bill in operation as
it stands, success is sure, reasonably
speedy, and. will be radical. Both good
sense and sound political policy say that
we want no Mormon martyrs.

FAULTY though it is in very many re-

solving of problem as important as it is

Mrs. DRUsE, the woman who murdered
her husband at the family home in the
State of New York in 1884, was hung
yesterday for the crime Much interest
was taken in the case by New York peo-
Pile; great sympathy was excited, and
after the death sentence persistent and
powerful efforts were made for a COM
mutation of the sentence. All was
of no avail, however, and the
wretched woman expiated her crime

THE PEARSON CASE.

We publish elsewhere in this issue a
communication endorsed by a citizen
of Provo, relative to the action OF
the court in the suspension of sentence
in the Pearson case. While always will
ing to afford respectable citizens an oppor-
tunity to present their views upon any
matter OF public interest through its col
umns, THE DEMOCRAT reserves the priv
ilege OF commenting thereon either
favorably or adversely, as in its Judg-
ment the merits or dement's OF the
case demand In this instance, we
disagree with our correspondent. We
believe that Judge Henderson acted in
accordance with the spirit OF justice and
humanity, and without exceeding or over
stretching his authority as the presiding
Judge OF district court. Our correspon-
dents chief objection to Judge Hender-
sons action appears TO be lack OF prece-
dent. He claims that he exercised
authority not warranted by the law,
nor recognized by the decisions of
courts in this or other sections Of
the Union. He asks, "Is there
any authority ontside of this Judicial
District for indefinitely suspending sem
tence in cases of felony, and if so where
may the authority be found" THE DEM
oCRAT, although no lawyer, will cite a
couple of cases which are directly
to the point. In the l4th New
Jersey Broom Report in the case
of the State VS.. Addy, the ST.
preme Court says '"The practice of sus-
pending sentence in criminal cases
has long been in vogue in this
and other States. 1t would seem
that it is stating the case too
broadly to assert that it is always the
imperative duty of the Court to render
judgment upon a conviction of crime.
Considerations of public policy may in
duce the Court to stay its hand" In
the case of Dewdican's bail reported in
ll5th Massachusetts, Chief Justice Gray
says "The custom is common in Massa-
chusetts." We might fill the DEMOCRAT
fol- week with references to decisions
sustaining the principle, and the reason
why none were cited to the Court by the
defendants attorney, was doubtless be-
cause the books are full of them, and it was
considered unnecessary to quote mat
ter with which the Judge was himself
perfectly familiar 1t strikes us that if
ever there was a case where the court was
justified in exercising its discretion i'll the
suspension of sentence, it was that of
young Pearson. The facts developed in
the case are too familiar to our readers
to necessitate reiter&tion. They were
sufficient, in our opinion, to warrant the
action of the court, which we are conf
dent meets the approval of a large ma
jority OF the people who believe that JUS
tice should be tempered with mercy.
